Mission News
S & C are preparing for summer activities. Please pray for their pastoral care of local church leaders and coworkers.
H & P organised a mission day, attracting a group of Burmese friends to help with decorating, cooking, and cleaning. The English classes in the community also formed a fellowship group of young people. Pray that the Lord will grant strength and wisdom to serve these unreached people.
Remember Pastor Janet Tam's frequent journeys during the rainy season to serve in Smiling Lanka and Galle, which are over a hundred kilometres away. Pray for the Lord's peace. Pastor Tam will be on furlough in Hong Kong from next month to October; pray for God's guidance!
Praise the Lord! H & Y have excelled in their academic performance this semester and are now entering a three-month summer vacation. Pray for their leadership of short-term mission teams and training courses, as well as for missions to surrounding cities. Pray for the Lord's protection in their service.
James Che and Jessica have returned safely to serve in the Ethiopian church. Jessica has completed her master's degree in theology. Pray for their health and strength to work for the Lord!
Prayer Items for the Week
Reflecting on the sermon: Pray for those seeking provision to find support and for us to extend generosity and grace like Boaz. May those longing for redemption, like Naomi, experience God's love and healing. Let us recognise and share the unexpected kindnesses in our lives.
Pray for Nic: Pray for an upcoming outreach during the start of the semester. The team will have a hot drinks stand and will be sharing the gospel every hour of the day. Pray for a revival on campus, that students will come to know Christ and submit to Him as their Lord.
